Hello everybody! I serve as Number VIII of the Organization; however, my primary role on the site is to generate non-news content! Let's keep the endless flood of profiles on undervalued archetypes flowing, shall we?

Welcome back to a new CDS article, and this time we will be discussing a deck that has broken through into the competitive scene in the past through reliance on chance. Today, that all changes as I’m going to introduce you to low-chance Infernoids, relying on controlled milling and speedy drawpower!

Welcome to the next installment of the CDS articles, this time focused on combining Pendulum monsters with Ritual Summoning! Ritual monsters have always been the odd man out, requiring a large commitment in order to bring them to the field, so what better way to compensate for this hefty investment than to use Pendulum monsters to serve as the material? Just wait until you realize the other potential benefits!

We’ve all watched as Pendulum Monsters have come to sweep across the competitive metagame, as Pendulum archetypes have risen to define formats and dictate the most powerful tech cards. Instead, let’s discover what can happen when themes and archetypes use Pendulum engines to augment and enhance their strengths!

Welcome to a new CDS article and this time we will be discussing a mechanic-centric deck, rather than just one archetype. Tokens have existed from the beginning of time for Yu-Gi-Oh, although they have not seen too much competitive play outside of the rogue Scapegoat or Dandylion. Could that all change with the impending arrival of three new Token generators?

From their initial release almost 2 years ago, Pendulum Monsters have grown from being completely undervalued and niche into a competitive dreadnought. Across the TCG and OCG, the Pendulum Craze has taken hold, as the “PePe” deck has finally arrived in the TCG with most of the power it used to dominate the OCG format. This article will explain how Pendulum Monsters and Pendulum Summoning went from useless, to completely overbearing, over just 1 structure deck and set release!

Welcome back to another CDS article, and this time we are going to be discussing a very special archetype, one that actually carves out its unique niche as an engine rather than an actual deck at this current point in time. Introducing the Burgesstoma, the archetype of prehistoric ocean fossils reanimated as Trap Cards that actually can summon themselves to the field as Normal Monsters! Now isn’t that a mouthful. Let’s dive into the strategic depths of this intriguing theme!

Welcome to my next CDS article, and we will be taking an indepth look into the brand new Red-Eyes Support! Red-Eyes B. Dragon has had multiple waves of support over its history, but its most recent wave of support in Clash of Rebellions and Dragons of Legend 2 has left a lot of duelists staggering, unsure of how to build the deck with the wide range and variety of support. It’s time for you to leave that crowd and learn about the newfound power of RED!

Welcome to my next CDS article, and we will be returning to a deck that I have covered once before! Spell Counter decks have always struggled with one big issue – either you would draw too many monsters and not enough spells, or you would draw too many spells and not enough monsters. Even the build in my previous article had that issue. I’m here today to introduce two modern ideas on how to run a Spell Counter deck to solve that problem in this new age, so let’s jump right in!

For the first time in CDS article history, the focus of this article is not about an archetype, theme or series, but rather this article focuses around a specific monster type! More specificly, the newest monster type! Let’s jump right in and learn about the power of Wyrms! And before you ask, this is NOT a Yang Zing article, but we will be introducing a secondary Synchro engine!

Welcome to my next CDS article, and in this revival of my old article series, I will be discussing a theme that never got to shine. I’m sure you’ve guessed it by the obvious title, but this is all about the Fortune Ladies! The Fortune Lady archetype never caught on for a variety of reasons; mostly that it was an anime archetype without enough outside support. But ever since their release, loyal Fortune Lady duelists have wished for the level manipulating enchanters to shine. Let’s gaze into the hidden seances of a Fortune Lady deck, especially as it can adapt to the future that is fast approaching…
